The Land Clearance for Redevelopment Authority for the County of St. Louis (LCRA), in coordination with the St. Louis Economic Development Partnership, is issuing this Request for Proposals (RFP) to procure qualified services to implement the Metropolitan Education and Training (MET) Center PCB cleanup project located at 6347 Plymouth Avenue, Wellston, St. Louis County, Missouri.
For purposes of this Contract ‘Owner’s Environmental Consultant’ and ‘Owner’s Technical Representative for PCB Remediation’ mean Environmental Works, Inc. (EWI), acting as the Owner’s designated technical representative for review of PCB remediation submittals, verification documentation, waste-management documentation, and Cleanup Plan implementation records. EWIis not the Contractor, Construction Manager, or designer of contractor means and methods, and EWI does not assume responsibility for contractor health and safety programs. This RFP solicits proposals from qualified contractors to perform PCB remediation and associated compliance documentation consistent with the controlling project cleanup framework described in Exhibit A.
A.2 Project Purpose and Cleanup Framework
The project will implement the MET Center Risk-Based Cleanup and Disposal Application (Cleanup Plan), dated January 12, 2026, as approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under 40 CFR §761.61(c), including EPA approval conditions issued for the project prior to publication of this RFP.
The Cleanup Plan addresses PCB-impacted building materials, dust reservoirs, and indoor air usinga risk-based approach with defined performance endpoints, verification requirements, wastemanagement routing, and long-term management commitments.
The Cleanup Plan is structured using EPA’s PCB FAST Toolkit, Tool 4 (TSCA Risk-Based PCB Cleanups Checklist), to support EPA review and implementation traceability.
A.3 MET Center Facility Overview
The MET Center consists of a multi-story office tower, a warehouse complex that includes High Bay, Low Bay, and Diesel Shop areas, and a separate North Tower structure. Current operations are limited to adult training, family services and administrative functions within portions of the office tower. The warehouse bays are currently restricted to controlled access for maintenance and investigation activities only. The North Tower is not used and is proposed to remain permanently closed to occupancy, with access limited to inspections needed to maintain physical security and exterior coating integrity.
A.4 Summary of PCB Conditions and Cleanup Scope
PCBs are present in and on certain building materials and associated dust reservoirs at the MET Center, and indoor air is evaluated within the risk-based cleanup framework. The Cleanup Plan focuses active cleanup on PCB-impacted building materials and dust in areas relevant to current and planned building use, and it uses verification and documentation to confirm that cleanup outcomes meet defined acceptance criteria.
